The Experience

From the Dutch Countryside to Beautiful Bruges

“A Dutchman without a bike is like a fish without water” so the saying goes. In Holland, with nearly one bicycle for every person, everyone rides – even the king and queen. And in bike-crazy Belgium, home of cycling great Eddie Merckx, passion for le vélo is legendary. You’ll find it in the pastoral flat-as-a-pannekoek landscape, amid the flower fields and silent canals. And in the bustling cities and storybook villages. You’ll even find it post-ride – whether in the form of a fine Belgian Lambic or a pot of steamed mussels. Come bike with us in Holland and Belgium. And feel the love
